[Paul Mobbs]

Oopps! Missed this. Here's what the rest of the media make of the idea:

As noted previously, they're not going to junk all environmental regulation. 
They already know what it is they want to do. What we have to do is determine 
which lobby groups are pressuring for which regulations to be junked. E.g., I 
think from trawling industry/lobby group forums that things like excess 
packaging and eco-reporting regs. are at the top of the list.

"We are not for names, nor men, nor titles of Government,
nor are we for this party nor against the other but we are
for justice and mercy and truth and peace and true freedom,
that these may be exalted in our nation, and that goodness,
righteousness, meekness, temperance, peace and unity with
God, and with one another, that these things may abound."
(Edward Burrough, 1659 - from 'Quaker Faith and Practice')
